Foundation of Fist Club Europe e.V. – Education, community, and networking for an often taboo sexual practice

With the founding of Fist Club Europe e.V. in Berlin, a new contact point is created for people committed to an open, respectful, and safe approach to the sexual practice of anal fisting. While other sexual practices have increasingly been de-tabooed in recent years, anal fisting often remains excluded from public awareness.

This is not only due to prejudice or ignorance, but also because society's discussion of sexual topics is often shaped by conventions, media trends, or heteronormative narratives. "Our goal is to provide sound knowledge, reduce prejudices, and create a safe space for exchange within the community," explains Balian Richter, the association's spokesperson. "Anal fisting is often misunderstood or treated as a niche topic, but it is a practice that has a long tradition in many communities – especially among gay men. At the same time, it is also gaining increasing importance in heterosexual circles."

The association is committed to the following areas:

Awareness & Prevention – Providing scientifically sound information on hygiene, health aspects, and safe practices to minimize risks and raise awareness of responsible consent.

Community & Networking – Building an open, supportive community that facilitates exchange and sharing experiences.

Advocacy – Promoting public visibility and acceptance of the practice, as well as providing a strong voice for the community vis-à-vis social and political stakeholders.

Events & Courses – Organizing workshops, meetings, and social events to share knowledge and experiences.

The association's official website will soon be launched, where both absolute beginners and experienced practitioners can find comprehensive information and guidance. Structured online courses are also planned, allowing interested parties to explore the topic in a protected environment – ​​regardless of experience or prior knowledge.

In the long term, the platform will provide a networking opportunity for interested parties worldwide, bringing together people with shared interests. The association is particularly aimed at gay men, but also advocates for a broader social discussion of the topic. Interest in anal fisting is also growing in heterosexual circles, which is why Fist Club Europe e.V. provides targeted education and support for anyone who wants to engage with this practice responsibly and with an informed approach.

In addition, the association serves as a competent contact for media and specialist portals. Whether guest articles, interviews, or specialist contributions – Fist Club Europe e.V. offers in-depth expertise and a differentiated perspective on the topics of sexual health, education, and community work.
